The electric motors in the crossover will be upgraded.
Although all eyes are focused on Audi’s new electric car, the Etron GT sedan, it is not the only model. In 2019, the automaker started delivering the Etron crossover, and it is scheduled for a mid-cycle update. Audi may be updating the electrified engine, rather than the usual design changes automakers make. Autocar has information from inside the automaker.
These updates, if true, are significant, especially considering a mid-cycle overhaul. The publication states that the E-Tron will not only be updated but also the E-Tron Sportback
You will receive a new battery that will extend its range. However, the batteries will also be upgraded with more efficient electric motors.
Autocar According to sources, the E-Tron will offer more than 373 miles range for both versions. The UK’s current battery, 95-kilowatt hour, provides 249 miles of range. This is a lot more than the US EPA.
The revised look and powertrain are designed to prolong the model’s lifespan through 2025, possibly even beyond. The second half of 2022 will see the arrival of the updated E-Tron. Audi will unveil the Q6 Etron, which will arrive for the model year 2023. The 2022 release of the Q6 is anticipated. This is in conjunction with the new generation all-electric Porsche Macan.
The range of the E-Tron models in the US will likely increase, but don’t expect to see as much as in Europe. The US EPA has a more rigorous testing regime, but the new range should be greater than today’s 222 mile. Many automakers will introduce new all-electric models over the next 18 months. The underlying technology is constantly improving, so it’s not surprising that Audi wants to keep its E-Tron competitive.
